Abstract

Electrically conductive nonmetallic materials have been in the forefront of scientific research in recent years. The development of high transition temperatures for superconductivity in ceramics has won high acclaim. Equally important are the achievements in obtaining good electrical conductivity in polymers. This chapter covers the principal techniques for attaining good electrical conductivity in polymers:

  • Synthesis of electroactive polymers and use of dopants and charge transfer salts

  • Deposition of metallic elements in polymers by thermal decomposition of specific metallo-organic compounds

  • Metallic ion implantation techniques

  • Compounding of polymers with conductive metal powders and carbon black

  • Vacuum metallization of polymers is discussed in Chapter 5.
